when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can
cut you when it is not running.
Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A, C, D)
nOTE:
Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly before
each use.
1. With the saw still on a firm surface check the saw
chain

tension. The tension is correct when the saw
chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away
from the guide bar
4
with light force from the middle
finger and thumb as shown in Fig. C. There should be no
“sag” between the guide bar and the saw chain on the
underside as shown in Fig. D.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen bar lock nuts
7
.
3. Rotate the chain tension screw
8
in the front of the
housing using the flat screwdriver end of the wrench.
4. Check saw chain tension, adjust if needed.
5. Do not over-tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar
and saw chain.
6. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten bar lock
nuts
7
until snug.
7. A new chain stretches slightly during the first few hours
of use. It is important to check the tension frequently
(after unplugging tool) during the first 2 hours of use.
If the saw chain
5
and guide bar
4
are packed separately in
the carton, the chain has to be attached to the bar, and both
must be attached to the body of the tool.
1. Place the saw on a flat, firm surface.
2. Rotate the bar lock nuts
7
counterclockwise with the
wrench
16
provided.
3. Remove sprocket cover
6
, and bar lock nuts
7
.
4. Wearing protective gloves, grasp the saw chain
5
and
wrap it around the guide bar
4
, ensuring the teeth are
facing the correct direction.
5. Ensure the chain is properly set in the slot around the
entire guide bar.
6. Place the saw chain around the sprocket
17
. While
lining up the slot on the guide bar with chain tensioning
pin
18
, and the bolt
19
, on the base of the tool as
shown in Fig. B.
7. Once in place, hold the bar still, replace sprocket cover
6
.
Make sure bolt holes on the cover line up with the
bolts
19
, on the main housing.
8. Install the bar lock nuts
7
and rotate clockwise with the
wrench
16
provided until snug, then loosen nut one full
turn, so that the saw chain can be properly tensioned.
9. Rotate the chain tensioning screw
8
clockwise to
increase tension as shown in Fig. C. Make sure the saw
chain
5
is snug around the guide bar
4
. Tighten the bar
lock nut
7
until snug.
